Savings from oil and coal importation

Boron in graphene could improve its capacity to retain Lithium ions for greater Li-ion capacity. Graphene lattices, a new space material which could have very dense storage capacity could not do so as is, but researchers/scientists at Rice University found a way to increase capacity by adding Boron. The lead scientist is Dr. Boris Yakobson. Graphene's performance is 2x that of graphite, the traditional material used for Li-ion batteries.
Yakobson and first Rice researcher Yuanye Liu estimated the lithiated graphene boron capacity to be 714 milliamps per hour per gram or 2, 120 watt hours per kg. when paired with commercial boron lithium oxide
The next step is how to commercialize the idea, ie produce the lithiated graphene/boron in large quantity
